Living with Conviction by Toby Dorr is available now in eBook, Audiobook, and Physical Book
⭐️⭐️⭐⭐⭐ Book Review

“Toby Dorr takes full responsibility for the actions that sent her to prison but refuses to let the worst decision of her life determine the rest of her life.” Living with Conviction is so much more than a story of a woman serving a sentence for helping a convicted murderer escape from prison. “She reveals that beneath the reality of her life altering decisions was the innate desire to be loved, have value, worth and significance.” Dorr’s story allows one to realize that redemption is always possible. Her story is emotional, heartbreaking, and honest. Dorr accepted her fate and made the best of it. Developing a sisterhood and standing her ground for what is right in prison. The transparency within will keep you pondering how one could deal with such a decision and its consequences with such positivity. This memoir stole my heart from the very beginning. I have personally worked in a jail and have my own feelings about staff/inmate relationships but reading about Dorr’s personal growth and self-rediscovery has really allowed me to open my mind and see this in a different perspective. Thank you Toby Dorr for sharing your story with the world. May you continue to find happiness in all that you do. I highly recommend Living with Conviction to all readers.

I enjoyed reading this true crime story by this author. The story takes on a life of itself as the author tells her experience with the situation. It is a fast paced and hard to put down story. A story that is gripping and heartfelt. It was an emotional roller coaster for me as well. I felt for the author as she is retelling her story. It is a well written story that would satisfy anyone who likes true crime stories. I really enjoyed reading this author. I highly recommend it.

Living with Conviction: A True Crime Memoir by Toby Dorr. This is a fast paced true story of a prison break. Toby Dorr was a volunteer at the jail assisting with training dogs thru her Safe Harbor Prison Dog Program. Michael was 17 when his life went downhill, he was going to help a friend steal a car and during the car jacking a gun went off and he was charged with murder. Due to a weird law Michael was charged with murder even though he didn’t even touch the gun. He was sentenced to life in prison for a murder he didn’t commit. Toby had a hard upbringing having to raise her siblings and she had a husband and kids at home. She was in all senses of the word, successful. When she meets Michael in the jail she falls hard and fast. When they hatch a plan to break Michael out her life unfolds horribly. They end up crashing and both going to prison. While she is in prison she reflects on how she used busyness to hide her loneliness, heartache and depression. This is such a good memoir and once you pick it up you won’t want to put it down.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 stars
Living With Conviction is a gripping true crime memoir. It is also a tale of long overdue self-discovery. Toby Dorr bravely tells her story of aiding a convicted murderer. It is a soul baring, raw, powerful, and frank telling of love and the aftermath of one wrong turn in life’s journey.
It is Toby’s story of her how her life took her from one side of the bars to the other side. We get a riveting and eye-opening view of life inside jail. It is a look as Toby finds bonds and friendships in the most unlikely of places. It takes us on a hard journey of self-awareness to self-growth, worthiness and understanding, of looking deep inside oneself.
It exposes the undertones of prison life that they try to keep under wraps and a broken system that needs to be fixed. It also shows how families and communities’ frown upon the label of being in prison and their treatment thereof.
I am so glad Toby shared her story and that I took a chance to read it.
It is one book that is a must on everyone’s TBR list.

Toby’s story is truly inspirational about how she overcame and tried to change the system while she was in for what she did wrong. She knew her mistake and acknowledged it. She learned to stand up for herself. She tried to make a better world. I found this to be a well written book that I couldn’t put down. It’s a definite must read. I don’t want to give a lot away. Toby shares her vulnerability with the world and because of this, we get to read a 5 star memoir of this year. A truly fascinating book that shows there is hope and things can change one person at a time.

“Toby Dorr’s memoir is a remarkable true crime story of redemption that recounts her unexpected descent into aiding a convicted murderer’s escape from prison. Though she had no prior record, Dorr’s story is a testament to the power of transformation and personal growth.

Dorr’s memoir goes beyond the sensationalism of the headline-grabbing escape and offers a unique perspective on the criminal justice system. Her story delves deep into the psychological and emotional challenges of incarceration, as well as the healing and transformative power of resilience. Through her own experiences, Dorr discovered a sense of purpose and direction in her life, despite the hardships of her prison sentence.

The memoir is a gripping and powerful tale of heartbreak, courage, grace, and redemption. It is filled with drama, action, and adventure, but at its core, it is a story of personal growth and self-discovery. Dorr invites readers to join her on a journey that explores the human capacity for change and redemption, and how even in the darkest of moments, there is hope for a better future.

For true crime enthusiasts, Dorr’s memoir is a must-read. It offers a rare insight into the complexities and nuances of criminal behavior, and the impact it has on those who find themselves caught up in it. However, the memoir is not just a tale of crime and punishment. It is a story of resilience and transformation, and an inspiring reminder that redemption is always possible.”

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This author is one of my favorites! The first two books in the Millersville series were so well written and full of suspense-so much so that I jumped at the chance to read this book. Our main character has had some tough times occur in her life and the book starts with her and a fire. Now since she started the fire over a very silly mistake…she was trying to cover up a secret from her past. Well not only did she start a fire in a motel and destroy the room and a couple nearby, she failed to heal the pain of her past mistake! Well her kind mom is so supportive and sends her on a trip just to get away. Little did they know the true story behind cabin eight! I don’t want to give it away but just know that curiosity killed the cat! As usual, I’m looking forward to the next gem of literature from the author!

This is book two in the Millerville series but can be read as a standalone. Even though the story takes place in the same city/town the characters and circumstances are different. Jasmine’s father is diagnosed with a rare lung disease and she is determined to come up with the cash that could potentially save his life. She decides that turning to a life of crime is the easiest way to go but is robbed blind by some bogus officers. Time is running out quickly and she must find a way to make all that money back plus some. What will her plan of action be? And will she be able to get the money in time? This book really does make you question what you will do and how far you’d be willing to go to save your loved one if you have the chance. I don’t think most people would choose to become criminals, but in a world of fiction anything is possible. This was a fun fast paced read and I’m glad I jumped into the series.

This book started out a bit on the odd side for me but as I turned the pages I was hooked. After having set a motel room on fire, and damaging several other, Miranda finds herself at a resort. While there she comes to realize that she has been set up and nothing is as it seems. There is a whole underground operation going on and she is one of the latest test subjects. They have a huge advantage over here since they know everything about her life from the tragedy that happened in her younger year up to the point we read about in the book. She must face her past as well as her fears if she is to find her way out. The question is will she be able to do that? I did enjoy this book. While I felt it started out a bit slow for me it did get better and it kept me turning the pages.

This was an incredible book! I can count on one hand the number of books that keep me engaged and on my toes, and this is definitely one of them. With all the twists and turns, I couldn’t guess what was going to happen next which usually comes naturally for me! The flow of the story can feel a little disjointed at times, but I think it added to the feel of this psychological thriller. I liked this entire series, but this one was definitely my favorite. It was full of suspense and had me on the edge of my seat trying to uncover what would happen to Miranda. I highly recommend picking up this series, and when you make it to this book, you’ll understand what I’m raving about!

This was an interesting storyline in a series that keeps you guessing where the author will go next. This follows the story of Miranda, who has experienced trauma and a series of unfortunate events that have gotten her in to trouble, gets away to reset and process these events. This getaway is not what she expects and she soon finds herself being tested in new, twisted ways.

Overall this was an intriguing and completely unexpected storyline, which is something I’ve been accustomed to with this author. The action starts immediately into the book and continues all the way through, making this and engaging and quick read. It’s definitely a different type of psychological thriller than I would say is typical, but engaging overall.

I think we all know someone like Miranda, does she ask for all the bad or does it just follow her? Is this karma for a former life?
This story while part of a series can be read by itself and it still makes sense. I really liked the story but felt like something was missing. At times first person presence tense made it hard to read but over all it wasn’t bad!

Reading this series, I’ve realised that they can all be read at standalones as they each have a different focus.

As with the earlier books in the series, this one is full of suspense and twists. The characters are yet again written well, and the plot is great.

Miranda is the main character, grieving a friend and searching for peace as many do, unknowingly getting herself deeper into danger. Her strength in fighting and way of thinking kept me rooting for her survival as she progressed.

I became fully immersed into this original story, wishing for Miranda’s success and genuinely fearing for her safety and the minor events became increasingly dangerous.

I hope to read more from this author in future!

This is the second book in the series, and I enjoyed it just as much as the first. It’s filled with twists and turns and suspense.

I enjoyed the plot and the lovable characters – I was hooked. The writing style of the author was great in aiding in the enjoyment of reading. I loved that once again the characters were well-constructed and the way the story is told through multiple points of view givens a deeper feel for character narrating.

I adored Jas, I was rooting for her from the start. Although she does some not-so-great things, her motive and actions come from a good place – love for her father and the wish to pay for his treatments. Her determination is admirable, even if a little reckless. I was so invested in her outcome.

I’m excited to move onto the next book!

Have you ever wondered what you would do if you were trapped in a situation where you had no control? How often do you consent to things (online or in print) without actually reading the fine print/disclaimers? This well written book makes you question what you would choose and how you prioritize things at times. Our heroine steps out of her norm and makes retributions for her past actions.

All of her books in the Millersville Series are amazing Thrillers and suspense. Until now I realized the characters are all females fighting to survive life and the struggles they have to go through.
Jacklyn is a mother of 2 kids, who she thought were angels but they wanted to keep her locked up. Jacklyn is an amazing character who does not stop to escape a place where she does not need to be there.

I wasn’t sure about the book at the beginning. I don’t want to say books need to stick to formal writing but there were many short, fragment sentences making it hard to imagine this story. Things became a little whimsical, and the story reminded me a little of Alice in Wonderland. I thought the story was supposed to be suspenseful but it wasn’t, things happened pretty fast and I would expect this to at least take more than 10 hours. Our main character comes to terms with her past, and I’m glad she finally apologized to the motel owners. The author includes questions at the end of the story for readers which I found interesting and I like they get you thinking about the ethics of things.

Mind blowing
Book 3 of The Millersville series brings another gripping story. This book is darker than the last, with a mix of paranormal, sci-fi and psychological thriller. It brings to mind the old saying ‘curiosity killed the cat’. These books are definitely fast paced and I am loving the diversity that the author brings each time. Looking forward to the next book.

I have read several of C. A. King’s books and have enjoyed them all; Truly Unfortunate is no exception! C. A. King delivers realistic, believable characters. This book has lots of plot twists and an unbelievable mystery with a very…unexpected ending. Truly is tormented with having no memory of her childhood. A series of unfortunate accidents also connect to Truly. But, Jeff, the local detective must piece together the truth. I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out the mystery along with the characters. This quick read was entertaining and well written, exactly what I’ve come to expect from C. A. King! If they include this same level of paranormal mystery, I can’t wait to read the rest of the Welcome to Knollville Series.

⭐️⭐️⭐⭐ Book Review

Cabin Eight is the third book in The Millersville series. Although being a part of a series, it can be read as a standalone.This psychological conspiracy thriller is full of suspense, drama, and foreboding danger. This was my first time reading a book by Susan Specht Oram. I found this novel to be very unbelievable making it hard for me to get roped in. I had to keep putting the book down and coming back with an open mind. Despite these obstacles, the book was fast paced, there was great character building, and the overall story line had me invested until the end. I would not hesitate to recommend this book to a friend or to anyone who enjoys the psychological thriller genre.. I would definitely take the time to read another book by this author in the near future.

Cabin Eight (The Millersville series)Cabin Eight by Susan Specht Oram
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Traumatized by an event early in her life, Miranda accidentally sets fire to a motel. The compounding grief and guilt of her actions cause her to take time off from her work as a cleaner and spend some much-needed alone time thanks to a discounted offer to a resort. Hopeful that the trip will help her rest and come back to her senses, Miranda is more than a little unsettled when she is assigned to a more run-down cabin than the name of the ‘resort’ had suggested. In a shocking turn of events that are both psychologically and emotionally charged, Miranda finds herself in the precarious position of being at the mercy of others and must fight to escape. I like how the book was lighter in tone than some of the psychological thrillers I’ve read before. The author has a way of adding levity to the narration while holding the reader captivated, but I felt that some moments were a little overdone which kept me from believing and being completely lost in the story. I’ve read some of the other books by the author and have enjoyed each one, this one included.

I have read the other first two books to this series and I have to say just like the other ones this one did not disappoint. You can read these books any way you want but I think you would be more enjoyable to start from the beginning. I could not get enough of this book. This book was so intense that I was sucked in and couldn’t stop till I finished. Its fast pace so you need to make sure you hold on tight. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way thou. It was so detailed and vividly described that it makes you really feel like your right there beside Miranda as she goes, thou her experience of survival and struggles. The other characters of clowns, snakes, an evil corporation, mad scientists made this book very intriguing and just adds that little touch of suspense. I can stress enough on how amazing this book was and how much I really have enjoyed everything about the series and books.

Cabin Eight (The Millersville series)Cabin Eight by Susan Specht Oram
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cabin Eight was an interesting book, very suspense filled, but not scary. It has a similar feel to the author’s other book in the same series (The Millersville series), Shore Lodge. The book had me thinking alot- it seems too bizarre of a situation to be real… yet when you think about it, it could totally happen. Makes the reader think twice before we check the next box after (not) reading another long disclaimer filled with fine print. The author did a good job explaining the situations, and describing them. I was able to envision the scenes as they unfolded. Miranda found herself in several difficult situations as we went through this psychological thriller. At first I didn’t like her character at all, but she grew on me. I was happy with the ending and overall enjoyed the book. I think it was the best in this series so far! I look forward to more from this author.
